Hamas declared on Tuesday night that Israel had “opened the gates of hell”.

In a statement, the group’s so-called “military wing” said that it had resumed the rocket fire on Israel because the Israeli Air Force had launched an airstrike on a home in Gaza.

The group warned that “the price will be a heavy one”.

Senior Hamas official Ezzat al-Rishq warned, according to AFP, "Israel will not enjoy security so long as the Palestinian people do not, and it started it."

While the latest truce between Israel and Hamas was set to end at midnight on Tuesday, Hamas violated it hours before it expired, firing rockets towards Be’er Sheva on Tuesday afternoon around 4:00 p.m.
